The "cottage" has everything you could possibly need, and a lovely welcome pack.. We may have misinterpreted the description as we were thinking there was a sea/harbour view, but this is only sideways from the garden, not a problem but not quite as expected, still beautiful view of the countryside. The garden was enclosed, perfect for our dog. There are some lovely places to eat in Mevagissey, but with hindsight we would have contacted them prior to our visit to ensure we had reservations. With help from the owner we managed to avoid the village and the virtually impossible tuning at the bottom of the hill, thank goodness!

Mr Doyle, September 2019

We had a lovely welcome pack which included wine, bread, cookies, butter, and milk.. Very relaxing break and enjoyed by all especially the dog.

Hosts Rosie and Robin were very good - friendly but not pushy.. They made some excellent suggestions based on local knowledge and went to extra trouble with recommendations for my birthday which occurred while we were there. Bedding and towels were changed midweek (which does not often happen) and cleaned weekly. Lovely setting in a working fishing village in Cornwall. Very happy to recommend it. One area - which we pointed out to the hosts - was the internet often failed - we could not connect at all. Robin and Rosie said that this had never occurred before - they have fast fibreoptic cable and had not previously been made aware of any internet problems. They undertook to monitor it with future guests.

Mrs Dundas, August 2019

July 2019

Excellent cottage in a good location although at the top of a hill, the couple who own the cottage live next door and are available if needed but not intrusive.. Had a slight problem with my car and Robin offered to help fix it. Goodies when we arrived milk, butter, bread, biscuits and a bottle of red. Would recommend.

Mr Murray, July 2019

Nectan provided us with a great base to explore Cornwall.. It was spotless and had everything we needed. Robin the owner had phoned a couple of days before the holiday and emailed us directions to the cottage, which came in very handy. Be warned the roads are very narrow and the hill to the cottage is steep. Robin & Rosie were very friendly & helpful. If you're visiting in the summer try to go to see Robin in the Megavissy Male Voice Choir singing on the harbour. We were very happy with Nectan and would recommend it to anyone, as long as you can cope with the hill!

Mrs Tilley

Robin and Rosie very much respected our request for a peaceful stay, greatly appreciated.. Excellent location for exploring the area, so many wonderful places to explore nearby. Mevagissey an utter joy. Cottage very comfortable, garden perfect and secure for our 2 small elderly dogs. Great walking from the door.

Booked this holiday apartment for a weeks stay for me, my wife and adult daughter.. Spoke to the owner Robin on the phone before we travelled and he emailed me directions to avoided going through the centre of Mevagissey. He also gave me tips on places to visit. This is a really nice apartment / extension with two good sized bedrooms attached to the main owners home. There was suitable parking for two large cars. Both bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom had a large double bed with the upstairs bedroom having a king size bed. Comfortable living area with seating for 4 to 6 adults. Kitchen was fully functional with electric cooker, microwave, toaster, filter coffee maker etc which was fine for our stay. Outside private garden with table and chairs to enjoy the sunny weather. We really enjoyed our stay. There are some very narrow roads around this part of Cornwall I advise those with satnavs to turn off quickest route selection and don’t follow the route without checking the roads are suitable for your car. Some roads are are very narrow just a bit wider the your wing mirrors with few or no passing points. Be prepared to reverse.

Nectan is a lovely warm comfortable cottage and ideal if you have a dog.. The surrounding area has lots of dog walking opportunities in all weathers and some great cafes to walk to. We went to the shipwreck museum at church town and even the dog enjoyed it.

Superb cottage and facilities, made very welcome by the owners who also left us some food and drink on arrival.. Great base to explore the rest of Cornwall but also enjoyed Mevagissey as well. Many thanks to Robin and Rosie!!!!

Mrs Stainsby

The property was lovely, clean and well equipped.. Mr Murphy was there if needed but by no means intrusive.

Ms Woods

Very comfortable, home from home, in the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey.. Just a short (steep) walk down to the harbour. Lovely meal had at The Salamander. Take the ferry to Fowey, we saw porpoises both there and back! Visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan and walk along the left-handside of the coast and down 200 steps to the most beautiful secluded cove. Thank you so much for the bottle of wine and biscuits ...tea coffee milk etc. Just the perfect little base..lovely peaceful garden too.

Mrs Mussett

July 2018

Our hosts were very welcoming, we felt very comfortable at our temporary home.. The layout is perfect for a family or two couples travelling together. Just the right distance from the busy village and parking on the property was very convenient. We would recommend this holiday cottage without reservation.

Mrs Puddephatt

May 2018

A really nice holiday home in a quiet location - spacious and clean with a nice little sitting out area through the patio doors with views over the fields.. Robin, the owner, was really pleasant and helpful. Mevagissey is a really nice Cornish fishing village with plenty of eateries to suit all tastes and a couple of good pubs. The only downside of getting there from Nectan is the extremely steep hill (I think Robin's 100 yards from the village is more than a little optimistic!!!), however, we managed it on a number of occasions but if you are older or have small children I would suggest you think carefully before booking. That said, if you want somewhere to stay in Cornwall that has a parking space you have a price to pay!! All things considered, it was a lovely holiday home and we had a great stay.

Mrs Haywood

Nectan is by far the most comfortable, spacious and well equipped cottage we have stayed in.. The owners, who live next door, are extremely friendly and knowledgable about the local area. A delightful base for our holiday and well worth the climb back up the hill from harbour and shops

Absolutely fabulous cottage love it so much that this is our third year in going back. The place itself is cleaned to a very high standard and has everything you need.There are two spacious bedrooms both with having ensuites. The open plan living/kitchen area is quite spacious and can easily accommodated four of us. The garden is great sunny all day and is also secure which was good to know as we had a little dog . The owners themselves are fabulous hosts very welcoming and are always around if there is a problem or you need anything.Overall this is a fantastic property and place hope to go back next year even though we wish we could stay forever

Really nice and calm feeling when you first walk in and location was great, although the hill to and from the town / harbour is short and steep.. Very clean. Would recommend.

Extremely comfortable, flexible accommodation (two good-sized double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms) which was perfect for our stay with my elderly parents. The cottage was well-stocked, with everything we needed - we really appreciated the milk, wine, biscuits, upon arrival! The hosts were very welcoming - they were there if we had any questions but otherwise were very quiet and left us to enjoy our holiday. The garden was ideal for my parent's dog - very secure so we could leave her outside all evening whilst we watched her from the living room. We can't recommend enough and we will definitely be returning!

Mr Lloyd, May 2017

October 2016

The cottage was very comfortable and very warm.. The enclosed garden was excellent for our dog with walks nearby. The harbour was just a five minute walk down the hill, but longer coming up. Very steep hill! And when we arrived it was lovely to be provided with milk, bread butter, wine, tea & coffee. All in all a very lovely and relaxing holiday with fantastic weather for November.

The cottage was warm and cosy with everything provided. It was refreshing to find a dog friendly cottage which was so clean and of a good standard of presentation. The garden was pleasant to sit in and admire the view of the surrounding countryside and the sea.

A lovely and clean cottage. Very thoughtful extras such as fresh flowers, milk, biscuits etc. on arrival. Excellent secure garden for dogs. It was very good value for money.

Mrs Roberts

We particularly liked the location of the property which was a short, pleasant walk in to the village. The property over looked hills at the back with a sea view to the side which enhanced sitting in the garden. The property was spotlessly clean.
